The cabin is minutes to the Hot springs Resort, the center of town, the Appalachian trial, route 209 "the Rattler" (motorcycle road), Max Patch, Laurel River, Lovers Leap and various rafting/tubing/zip-lining/adventure opportunities.
It's is nestled away on the edge of town (walking distance into the heart of hot springs) but also private enough to feel secluded in the mountains. Its great for a large family retreat w/ front and rear yards, a firepit, a hottub, a grill and a stargazing deck.

Outside:
Large uncovered stargazing deck and open space for daytime activites overlooking huge front yard
Smaller covered deck with rocking chairs

There are tons of activities like hiking, motorcycling, rock climbing, rafting, zip-lining and soaking in the hot springs. The air is clean, the people are kind and the mountains are majestic. People from all over the world come through here and discover the secret of Hot Springs, NC.

Roman was a great host and the cabin is in a beautiful location.

My family and I stayed here for an overnight trip and we loved it! This place itself was surprisingly spacious, quiet, clean, furnished with all the basics we need to enjoy. The location was perfect, close enough walk or drive to all the places in Hot Springs but surrunded by quite a scene of woods. Roman was very responsive and accommodating, always quick with answers. I would love to stay there again.

Jen-Po2017-04-29T00:00:00Z

The cabin is awesome! It has everything we needed for an overnight getaway with multiple family members. There was more than enough space for a group of us, we really enjoyed the hot tub, and fire pit. It’s only a 15 min walk from downtown Hot Springs but still provided a secluded and private feel. It was more beautiful in person than in the pictures but Roman said he was in the middle of updating the listing during our stay with newer pictures. Once again, thanks for accommodating us on such short notice and we are already planning a trip back to Hot springs, this time for a longer stay.

Anurag2017-04-28T00:00:00Z

Even though been using Airbnb for several years, there is still a level of nervousness not knowing what you are going to find when you get to the location. The second we drove in to the driveway I knew this was going to be an awesome location. Literally around the block from downtown it was so convenient to get to yet secured. The rooms were clean and spacious, the large deck and living room enable our large group to do lots of activities together. Roman, the owner was absolutely amazing. From personal touches to the amazing communication. We will be back again and can't wait.

Chickadee Cabin offers cozy and convenient lodging that is on the Appalachian Trail and just five to ten minutes walking distance from Hot Springs' restaurants, shops, and mineral tubs. The perfect romantic getaway for couples who want to experience the rustic Appalachian Mountains but still have WiFi and a jetted tub to return back to!

Just a few minutes’ walk or drive to downtown Hot Springs and a one minute walk from the Appalachian Trail’s entry into Hot Springs, Chickadee Cabin offers excellent convenience while still remaining secluded and peaceful on a quiet street tucked into the woods.
Wake up to the birds singing out back and enjoy a fresh morning cup of coffee on the covered porch, or meander in to town on the Appalachian Trail for a day exploring Hot Springs’ restaurants, local crafts, rafting and more. The cabin is within a few minutes’ drive of Hot Springs Spa where you can take a dip in a natural-fed hot tub, or stay home for a romantic evening complete with a two-person indoor Whirlpool jetted tub.
This is an ideal cabin for a couple wanting a mountain retreat while remaining close to all that Hot Springs has to offer. There are two single beds available in main room if the kids or your friends will be joining!
Chickadee Cabin is outfitted with a kitchenette. This includes a coffee maker (of course!), a coffee bean grinder, a mini-fridge/freezer, a sink, a set of basic plates, bowls, and utensils, a cutting board, knife, and crock-pot. There is no oven or stove in this kitchenette.
On the porch there is a Weber charcoal grill for burgers and veggies!
There is a television as well as over 100 DVDs to choose from. We do not have cable TV.
We pride ourselves on our VERY CLEAN cabin. Just check out our reviews!
LINENS AND SOAPS
All linens (towels, washcloths, sheets, dish cloths) are provided. Bath bars and hand soaps are also included.
INTERNET
We've got WiFi! We have the best WiFi that is possible to get at our location, BUT it is satellite internet and is affected by the weather and heavy usage times in the county. Do expect to be able to browse the web, but do not expect to be able to stream movies or music. Sometimes it will, and sometimes it won't!
AIR CONDITIONING
Yes! We do have air conditioning to keep you cool on hot summer days.
HEAT
Yes! We have a remote control operated mini-split heating system to keep you warm on even the coldest winter days. Original baseboard heat is present as well for additional warmth if desired.
2 WHEEL DRIVE ACCESSIBLE
The cabin is on a well-maintained state road and the approach and parking is flat, so it is accessible by two wheel drive vehicles in all but the most severe of storms!
TWO NIGHT minimum stay for reservations including a weekend night (Friday and Saturday). ONE NIGHT minimum stay offered for Sunday-Thursday nights. Weekend one night weekend stays will be accepted if the day is "stranded" (rented the night before and night after) or if it 4 days or less from your desired check-in date.

PETS
***If you are bringing a pet(s), you must let us know in your reservation request! Air BNB provides no other notification option, so please inform us in your note :)***
Chickadee is pet-friendly! Mostly we expect dogs, but cats may be welcome as well. If your pet is not house friendly (chewing, scratching, general chaos and destruction...) we ask that you kindly leave them elsewhere OR bring a kennel for their time in the house. A $15 pet fee covers up to two pets for the entire duration of your stay. This fee is not automatically included by AirBNB in the reservation cost. Thank you for being honest and letting us know about your pet! You will be invoiced separately after your reservation is confirmed.

Chickadee Cabin is located near town and only steps from the southern entrance to the Appalachian Trail. We would guess that we are 78 steps away, but haven't actually counted :) The AT will cruise you straight on in to Hot Springs, no car required, and you can expect it to take 5-15 minutes depending on your ability level and where you are headed in town.
A three minute drive will land you at the famous Hot Springs Spa and Resort, where you can soak in Hot Springs' naturally heated mineral tubs. For a real "day at the spa," check out their massages as well!
We are across the street from the Laughing Heart Lodge, which is a beautiful building that is an old Jesuit Retreat Center and is now operated as a predominantly private events center. There are public yoga and dance classes periodically, and guests of Chickadee have an open invite from the owners to enjoy their beautiful garden and grounds!
There are other houses on our road, but they are not visible from the cabins, as we are surrounded on three sides by forest.

This is an adorable and inspiring little cabin. Natalie has done an excellent job in creating and maintaining this space. The cabin is up on a hill above town, and the AT is just steps away from the door of Chickadee. We had an awesome time admiring the cabin's smart and beautiful use of a small space, walking to town, hiking up mountains, listening to bluegrass in town, getting into the extensive (and somewhat hilarious) DVD and VHS collection, and visiting the hot springs resort. We also went to Asheville several times for breweries and into Tennessee for a hike; we found it easy to get around to nearby places. Thanks to Natalie and family for an excellent vacation spot!

Jordan2016-10-25T00:00:00Z

This is the most adorable little cabin! The Appalachian trail is literally steps away, and it's a very short walk or drive into town for some great food. Will definitely stay here again if I'm in the area!

Hannah2017-03-10T00:00:00Z

The host canceled this reservation 53 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

David2017-04-03T00:00:00Z

Nice location. The cabin was nice and cozy. Easy to find. Cabin as described.

Rachel 2017-02-12T00:00:00Z

Natalie was awesome!! I asked her weeks in advance if she would be willing to leave some books about plants and she did! (There are a couple books on medicinal plants at the cabin already though). You also HAVE TO absolutely follow the directions she gives you. We came in through Newport which took us opposite of the downtown area. So start downtown and use her directions. The cabin is connected to her other cabin she owns (so like a duplex) which I didn't realize, but was totally fine with it. Also, it's across to an AT hostel (which is basically all hikers if you come at the right season) I recommend staying up late with them; they're always so fun!

Mary-Troy2017-03-30T00:00:00Z

We had an amazing time very close to trails and town. Walkable!!!

Layne2017-03-19T00:00:00Z

Natalie's cabin is wonderful. It has everything you could want and more. It is in the perfect location, near several trails and the town.

Clara2017-03-17T00:00:00Z

Natalie's little nugget of serenity in the woods is a perfect get away. Just off the main drag you feel as if you are literally in the woods! It was super clean, cozy, and well equipped. The DVD and VHS collection was nothing short of amazing and the double bench/twin bed setup in the den made relaxing for two so perfect. Natalie was very communicative and quick to respond with anything we needed during the stay and even let us check in a bit early so we could make our 4:00 appointment at the spa. I will definitely be back!

This room is in a B&B called The Belle Of Hot Springs and sits right on the Appalachian Trail in the sweet mountain town of Hot Springs. The Belle is withing walking distance to the small downtown area which has restaurants, shopping and an art gallery.
The Honeybee Suite is very sweet & guests have really enjoyed the lovely antiques, space and comfort afforded in this room. The Honeybee Suite shares a very large hall bathroom with the Monarch Room.

The Belle is a lovely historic Georgian Colonial circa 1924 located in the Town of Hot Springs approximately 45 minutes North of Asheville. This home was originally built as a residence for students who attended the Dorland-Bell School for Girls which is now Warren Wilson College, a private liberal arts college just East of Asheville. I chose the name The Belle to weave the history of this home into its present day life. The Belle sits atop a gentle knoll on an expansive lawn well off the main street of the quaint mountain Town of Hot Springs and is shrouded with mature cedars, pines, japanese maples, dogwood trees, large boxwood shrubs and shares a border with the famous Appalachian Trail.

Hot Springs is a resort destination for almost 200 years and has long been renowned for its healing hot mineral springs, scenic mountain setting, and abundance of natural resources. In 2012 Hot Springs was voted the Best Small Mountain Town from Georgia to West Virginia by readers of Blue Ridge Outdoors Magazine you will find we have welcoming small town feeling. Hot Springs, NC Is just 40 minutes north of Asheville. We are located at the junction of the Appalachian Trail and the French Broad River in a valley surrounded by the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Pisgah National Forest. And Hot Springs is North Carolina's only town Appalachian Trail Town.
Activities include rafting, tubing or kayaking the French Broad River, abundant hiking with many trails to choose from, swimming holes, horse back riding, or scheduling a soak and massage at the Hot Springs Resort and Spa. Many guests day trip to Asheville and enjoy all that this city has to offer like touring the craft breweries Asheville is known for.

The Chestnut Log Cabin is an absolute treasure hand crafted room the rare Chestnut logs of yesteryear. The interior is beautifully restored to its original 1922 Arts and Crafts style creating an inviting, soothing mountain getaway. This two bedroom, fully equipped cabin includes a private outdoor hot tub, relaxing fire pit and large covered, rocking chair front porch. Original hardwood floors throughout the cabin and relaxing sunroom looking out on private back garden. Chestnut Log Cabin is located directly on the Appalachian Trail within walking distance to town and all of the Hot Springs attractions. The master bedroom features a queen size bed, the Dancing Bear bedroom has bunk beds and the living area has a comfy futon sofa that folds down to a double bed. A total of six guests in two bedrooms and the living room sofa. Additional single futon added to the sunroom for a long afternoon snooze or extra sleeping space.

What a wonderful anniversary trip! Hot Springs is such a magical place. The people are super friendly, and being able to stay so close to the Appalachian Trail was a dream. Melanie was a great host and her house was every bit of what we hoped for on our first visit to NC. Thank you so much for opening your home up to us. This is a trip for the books.

Chelsea2017-03-27T00:00:00Z

The space was great & the location couldn't have been better. All in all, very cozy. I'd definitely recommend staying here. Melanie stopped in just as we arrived & helped with the hot tub & the technical difficulties we were having. She was very pleasant & her directions were great over the phone. She was always available when needed before & during our stay. A very pleasant host & quite the perfect cabin. The 2 boys loved the bunk beds & the hot tub. The pink tiled bathroom was my favorite!

Brynn2015-03-20T00:00:00Z

Description was accurate. We stayed in this cabin on two occasions. I'd highly recommend as a staging point for an AT hike, or to visit Hot Springs. I was made to feel very welcome.

Jamie2015-07-03T00:00:00Z

A funny thing happened on the way to Melanie's beautiful Arts & Craft cabin. We were in the middle of dinner when Melanie and her husband showed up to gently inform us were in the wrong house. A good thing too since the one we were in was nothing like the pictures. We moved, she was as gracious as she could be and even delivered a special welcome package of great stuff for "her" mistake. The cabin is perfect, great front porch sitting or more private back by the tub or the cooking pit. The living room, dining room, bunk room and kitchen would be perfect for a larger group, all the mechanicals worked--we didn't try the hot tub cause we went to the Hot Springs instead. A short 3 minute walk into town or an offshoot of the AT about 50 yards from the house. The hiking near the house is the reason many people come as well as the views or white water kayaking. We shouldv'e stayed a week. Maybe next time.

Evan2016-05-29T00:00:00Z

Melanie was great and made me feel very welcome! Location was perfect and a great get away. Melanie also gave some great advice on what to do in the town of Hot Springs.

The host was very nice. The home advertises sleeps up to 6 people. Yet you are charged extra per night, per person for anyone over 2 people. Even young children. The home has peeling paint in several rooms. This is a very old house. Lead based paint is a health hazard if not contained as dust comes off of it when it is cracked and peeling. There were possible black mold spores, on the ceiling, in the one bathroom. The home was musty and damp. The front porch was nice and the hot tub was relaxing. We had 2 small children with us so for their health and ours, the lead based paint and mold was a big concern. The cabin is right on the main road in town located on a narrow blind curve So it is a bit scary getting out of the driveway. A circular drive would make more sense where the property is located. I would most likely check with some other options in the area when I come back. Definitely the peeling paint and mold would need to be remedied before I would stay here again. With all these challenges, the home did have a charming and homey feel. Ann Taylor

The Chestnut is a sweet cabin . I have stayed twice now and plan on making it a biannual family tradition ! It has beautiful dark wood everywhere , a kitchen easy to cook in , A HOT TUB , and a purrfectly charming front porch . Melanie has an impressive library , a spacious dining room and ( my favorite color ) vintage pink bathroom ! Finally , when I discovered that I forgot my fan which I require for good solid sleep , a simple text was all I needed to do before , BOOM ! There was a fan at my front door ! She also left us alone and didn't hover . A perfect hostess !

The Pine Cabin is sweet and rustic with a private outdoor hot tub filled with only, fresh mineral water. The cabin backs up to the Pisgah National Forest for listening to the sounds of the forest while you soak. In the summer, we invite our guests to come pick fresh vegetables from the garden. The Pine Cabin has a loft with queen bed/1 bath, 1 futon, full kitchen, wifi, TV with DVD library (no satellite), towels/linens, dog friendly, less than 1 mile from downtown.

Established in 1992, Broadwing Farm is home to three generations of the Dixon family, located one mile from downtown Hot Springs, NC on a plateau above the French Broad River in beautiful Western North Carolina. Broadwing Farm Pine Cabin is situated on our 85 acre organic farm with the Pisgah National Forest out the back door and one of the most breathtaking views of the French Broad River Valley out the front door.
We invite you to come stay and feel welcome to look around the farm and gardens. You may see us mowing a field, harvesting the beans and corn, or fishing in the pond. We make every effort to make our guests feel at home while we live the life we have chosen here on Broadwing Farm.
We are fortunate to be able to offer our Pine Cabin guests a private outdoor hot tub filled only with fresh, hot mineral water for relaxing under the starry sky. The Pine Cabin is a cozy, homemade gem perfect for a couple or small family, with a spiral staircase to a loft bedroom and best of all - a private hot tub filled with only fresh mineral water for each guest stay. No chemicals, ever.

During the growing season, our farm focus is mainly on our large gardens full of a wide variety of vegetables and cooking herbs, a young orchard for fruit and small flock of chickens for eggs. In season, we happily share our harvest with our guests. During the spring and early summer, we sell vegetable, herb and flower garden starts from our greenhouse.
Hot Springs is a dream of outdoor adventures. The hiking in the Hot Springs area is some of the best in the Southeast with a wide range of challenge, from easy to strenuous. Even if you'd prefer a leisurely stroll down the main street in Hot Springs, you'll be walking on the Appalachian Trail! The French Broad River offers fantastic class II and III whitewater along with wonderful fishing, and breathtaking scenery. Hot Springs also provides a good selection of privately owned and operated restaurants and stores to keep you entertained during your stay. If you'd like a trip into the "big city", Hot Springs is just an hour from Asheville, NC where you can enjoy an eclectic variety of restaurants, museums, tailgate markets, microbreweries, shops and of course the famous Biltmore Estate.
We have had the pleasure of sharing our farm with guests for the last 15 years. Our guests visit from all over the world and we are lucky to have such a beautiful spot for sharing. We hope you have an opportunity to visit soon!

We live in a quiet neighborhood in a town of less than 700 full time residents

What a beautiful and peaceful place. We would love to stay there again, hopefully for a full week next time.

April2016-05-04T00:00:00Z

This was a fantastic spring break getaway for my boyfriend and I! Mary left 6 large eggs in the refrigerator for us which was an awesome surprise. The cabin was super clean and cozy. The hot tub out back was private and overlooked the pond and the mountains and it stayed warm enough when we used it. Chip was super cute! We would absolutely stay here again! There were coffee filters to use which was nice. There were plenty of clean towels and blankets.

Syndy2016-03-26T00:00:00Z

Lovely, scenic, quiet and peaceful with a funky and fun decor. We would like to have been able to spend some more time here. Hot tub was excellent and love the 'on your honor' greenhouse.

Kathy and Joe2017-05-21T00:00:00Z

Where do I start.. As two professionals who are surrounded by the hustle and bustle of life, this was a treat! The hot tub was amazing and being able to enjoy the quiet and peace was truly restorative. All around.. Just what the doctor ordered!

Jennifer2017-05-07T00:00:00Z

Excellent stay, great kitchen, courteous hosts, very private and quiet. If you need groceries to cook, I would recommend getting them before coming into town as the options are somewhat limited in the town of Hot Springs.

David2017-01-01T00:00:00Z

We loved our stay at Pine Cabin. Beautiful farm close to hiking and scenic drives. We especially loved soaking in the mineral water hot tub!

Natalie is responsive and there when you need her. The cookies and sweet welcome note made it the perfect place. Highly recommended !!!!!

Dana2017-04-26T00:00:00Z

I arrived late in the evening in Hot Springs and it was really dark and rainy and I had never been there. Finding the Goldfinch was easy, though, because it is located right beyond the monument in town, and the town is very small. It was a welcoming, clean, quiet and comfortable place to stay, literally right across the street from a hiker hostel and the Appalachian Trail. We met Natalie and she is super nice. My phone did not work while in the car, but the wifi in Goldfinch works great. Just make sure to map your drive in and the address to the house and you shouldnt have a problem. I highly recommend staying there, and I hope to return.

Dana2017-04-25T00:00:00Z

Cabin was cuter than portrayed, and a perfect escape! Natalie was prompt and helpful in all her responses.

rebecca2016-08-29T00:00:00Z

Wow!! This place was amazing! Comfortable, clean, perfect location, cute little town... My husband and I are still talking about it. It had everything we needed and the owner even allowed us to have an early check in so we could start enjoying Hot Springs and the AT. I will definitely be keeping this in mind if I ever get to hike the trail! Thank you for having us!

Christopher2016-05-26T00:00:00Z

This is an awesome location— you are literally steps from the AT and surrounded on 3 sides by the woods, but if you forget something (which we did, of course!) you are also a minute from town. It's the perfect spot for exploring the area! Natalie is a great host, and we had a wonderful time!

Meg2016-09-12T00:00:00Z

The Goldfinch cabin was perfect as our base to explore the mountains!! It is in a great and accessible location , tucked on a hill right above downtown hot springs and close to a lot of areas to explore. There are a lot of little birds to watch in the hedges near the cabin and two black cats even came by a few times and visited us. Natalie responded to a plumbing issue very promptly and professionally. We were able to meet her and she was very sweet and accommodating. We definitely want to come back to the little bird cabins!

Enjoy a cozy modern mountain cabin on 50 acres just 30 miles north of Asheville. A great spot for a secluded family reunion or a quiet mountain getaway. Walking trails and classic mountain streams. Close to rafting, riding, biking and hiking.

This is a secluded mountain hideaway with privacy, tasteful decor, up-to-date appliances and baths. Includes a separate bunk house with bunk beds and sitting area.

This is a quiet rural community, part of once was a 125 acre tract now shared by 3 families all of whom are part-time residents.
There are trails on our property and other nice walks a short drive away, including on the Appalachian Trail and Blue Ridge Parkway. The area also has excellent trout and smallmouth bass fishing, whitewater rafting, mountain biking and more.

I had prompt and excellent communication with Jim and felt comfortable contacting him even after our trip ended. The house description was spot on, very clean and well stocked with supplies. We overpacked and could have easily just shown up with our clothes and essentials. The property was lovely, very safe (truly in the middle of nowhere) and our children had enough to do by exploring the house and grounds to be entertained for our stay. We were there with 6 adults and 7 children and had plenty of space to spread out with bedding options/bathrooms for each family. Would love to stay here again in the spring!

Heather2015-10-11T00:00:00Z

This was a lovely place to stay! The cabin was larger than expected and well designed with lots of places to enjoy the views and mountain feel. It also was well equipped with more than just the basics. Jim was very responsive and worked with us to accommodate a somewhat last minute booking. The trails on the property and neighboring paths were delightful. I highly recommend Doe Branch Mountain Retreat and hope to go back someday.

Jean2015-04-12T00:00:00Z

We had a wonderful time at Doe Branch Mountain Retreat. The pictures don't do it justice - the place is really beautiful, inside and out! It was very spacious, and with bedrooms and bathrooms on three levels, it allowed each couple in our family to have a little privacy. Our visit was in the fall and we thoroughly enjoyed the autumn colors, but we saw many rhododendron bushes so I'm sure it would be gorgeous in the spring, as well. We hope to return!

Jim was prompt in his response to our inquiry about the property and all subsequent correspondence about our reservation. He also provided very useful information regarding directions to the cabin which included important landmarks. The home was warm, inviting and clean upon our arrival. All the necessary kitchen utensils were available as well as beautiful handmade mugs for us to enjoy our coffee in each morning. With 8 adults and two children (3 years and 10 months), we had enough space to spread out and feel comfortable. The beds were comfortable and the additional blankets and sheets were useful for those who slept on the futons. The upstairs loft and bunk house were nice additional common areas to relax in and for the kids to play. The outdoor space and surroundings were lovely and peaceful. We spent most of our time outdoors hiking, fishing and relaxing on the porch with a friendly and sweet neighboring dog who liked to visit. Jim helped point us in the direction of a nice hiking trail that we all enjoyed as well as brought us supplies (paper towels, scrub brush) when needed. We visited the town of Hot Springs as well as Asheville and appreciated how close we were to them but how remote we felt when on property. Our time at doe branch was relaxing and enjoyable on many accounts. We would love to visit again, possibly in the fall or spring when the weather is a bit more mild and we are able to take advantage of the outdoor spaces a bit more as well as enjoy the views from the house. Our only concern with visiting in the winter again would be the drive up to the property-which is a steep road. 4 wheel drive and a strong stomach would be necessities to make it in the snow. Jim was available and helpful throughout our stay. The photos of the house don't quite do it justice. It's really a wonderful place to spend time in and make memories with friends and family.

Jim and Deborah's Doe Branch property is awesome!! Seven of us from Chattanooga, Raleigh, Boulder, CO and Tampa, FL gathered to celebrate an upcoming wedding and couldn't have asked for a better set-up. Everything was spot-on from start to finish, Jim was very laid-back and ready to help with any questions or concerns we had leading up to and during our brief stay. The cabin is fairly remote but not off the grid. It was really the perfect combination of modern and rustic and we were able to disconnect and absorb the great vibes of the Appalachians. The home is clean, well organized, decorated tastefully and all the amenities are provided including a good coffee maker and a beastly Weber gas grill. The outdoor fire place built into a retainer wall is a great feature. The land the cabin is situated on is gorgeous and we were able to really appreciate the diverse topography of the area on the various private trails on the property. Even our contingent from the Colorado front-range rocky mountains were impressed with the steep grades of some portions of the trails. This was by far the most professional and smooth airbnb experience we have had and I think folks would be hard-pressed to find a better destination in the Asheville area.

We had a wonderful experience at this beautiful home, secluded in the mountains of NC. An easy drive to downtown Marshall and not too far from Asheville make this a great retreat. Everything was just as described. Perfectly suited for large groups and wonderfully private for just two, as it was for me and my wife. Thank you Jim and Deborah!

Matt 2016-10-23T00:00:00Z

Jim and Deborah stayed in contact before our visit and checked on us during the stay to make sure that we had everything we needed. The property is gorgeous and very serene. We are a family with 5 small children and the home more than accommodated us. We were lucky to get some early snow and sled down the hill from the house! I would recommend this property to anyone looking to "get off the grid" and will definitely consider it if we are in the area again.

My family and friends stayed at the "Vermillion Place" last week during the Memorial Day weekend. It was a vacation to remember and rejoice. This was the first time that we rented a place for family and friends to spend time together. The drive up the hill to the cabin was very beautiful and scenic. The last stretch up to the home was even more exciting.The drive through nature and away from the urban chaos was like arriving at paradise after a long and hard journey. The home was very beautiful. Everything that we needed was there. It was a very spacious and cosy place, and then suddenly we forgot all about where we came from, urban chaos!!! As we drove into the 50 acres of wilderness, Jim was mowing his lawn, he waved at us and then suddenly recalled this was an intellectual who loves nature and environment and is living with such harmony with nature. My friends and family had such a good time at this place that we fell in love with the home and its environment, it's beautiful trail, and the stream that runs thru it. This was more of a retreat for us than a vacation. We spend ourselves unwinding from our usual chaotic urban life and for once brought the kids out from within. And there was no one to watch or complain. One can scream and have all the fun with the family!!!

Our cottage is perched on a bluff overlooking the town of Hot Springs and the French Broad Valley. The natural springs hot tubs at the spa are filled with fresh mineral water for each guest; perfect way to unwind after a day rafting or hiking.

Our 2 bedroom, 1 bath cottage is located just 1 miles from the quaint village of Hot Springs; where the French Broad River and Appalachian Trail meet.

Hot Springs has the feel of Smoky Mountain National Park without the crowds. It's easy to get lost in nature on the many trails surrounding the town, or canoe or kayak sections of the river in solitude.

Deb was really easy to communicate with and sent very comprehensive information about the house and the local area. The house is fantastic, even nicer than the pictures, and the view from the front porch is wonderful - but make sure to put bug spray on before you sit out there for too long! We only stayed a few days, but it would be a very comfortable place to spend a week or two.

Katharine2015-10-11T00:00:00Z

deb was super quick to respond to messages and sent a very detailed email with a TON of suggestions for things to do in the area. the house was as-advertised, with an awesome view, and easy access to the town of hot springs. we will definitely be back!

My girlfriend and I stayed out the Hound Heaven cabin. It was every thing we wanted and a little more. A short drive to check out the town of Hot Springs which was full of kind people. Plenty of hiking trips to choose from. This cabin was so enjoyable we plan on making it our annual getaway. The hot tub and cabin was clean and so relaxing. Other than hiking and checking out the beautiful views there isnt much to do. But there isnt much more to ask. In mine and my girlfriends mind, a vacation isnt measured in all the stuff you can do, its measured in the things you dont have to do. As for this cabin, a weekend of relaxation, freedom, and each others company it was the best vacation ive ever had. Thank you very much.

Kevin2016-12-18T00:00:00Z

We had a very relaxing time at Hound Heaven. They had everything that we could have possibly needed, including some extra doggy toys and plenty of kitchen gear to cook supper. Loved the hiking tips too! Max Patch is a must see, and is an easy hike to the top.

Shawndra2016-04-21T00:00:00Z

Amazing, private cabin with a hot tub and fireplace! This little gem is close to hiking and the town of Hot Springs. Great suggestions from the hosts on area hiking and eating!

Melissa2017-01-03T00:00:00Z

What a great cabin for a weekend getaway from Asheville. Private, clean, comfortable, and easy to access. Would definitely go again

Corey2016-04-18T00:00:00Z

After two days of hiking and camping on the AT with our dogs this cabin was a nice break like it had been before. Perfect fit for our visit and always a joy because of how wonderful it is for our dogs. Not to mention this visit a nice bottle of wine was waiting to welcome us. A wonderful way to spend some much needed time as a couple and fun for our dogs as well.

Great spot for exploring the area. Cozy cottage, prompt communication from Melanie, and the hot tub was perfect for our snowy long weekend.

Erin 2016-01-18T00:00:00Z

Melanie's place was great, and she was really wonderful about communicating. We had a wonderful time in Hot Springs and are looking forward to being back sometime!

Eric2015-05-04T00:00:00Z

Had a very nice weekend. Cabin is in a perfect location and nice and quiet. Lot's of great information provided regarding Hot Springs and local trails. Only criticism would be that the cabin was freezing when we arrived as the heat was off. Took a couple hours for the place to warm up and we debated going to town while it did. Also the water in the hot tub was set at a very low level, which I understand the owners had problems with people overflowing it but still could have been a raised 2-3 inches. Overall I would recommend and probably stay again!

What a cute cottage! It was exactly as described and definitely what we were looking for. It would be an easy walk into town but since it was cold we drove. The hot tub was such a relaxing feature. The kitchen had everything I needed to cook my husband a birthday meal. The bed was really comfortable and we slept well. Melanie was quick to answer all my questions and checked on us to make sure everything was to our liking. We would definitely stay here again.

Emily2015-02-08T00:00:00Z

Wonderful location in a great town. This is our favorite mountain town and Melanie's place fit what we needed. Shower is smaller than expected but the hot tub is such a great to unwind for happy hour or late night. Hope for a rainstorm so you can watch it from the front porch rocking chairs.

Jenny2013-07-29T00:00:00Z

My husband and I had such a wonderful time at the Trailside cabin for our 1 year anniversary this past weekend! The cabin was so cute and in such a great location within walking distance of the shops, restaurants and hot springs resort. We spent hours sitting in the rocking chairs on the front porch relaxing and taking in the beautiful view. Also the hot tub was so relaxing! We didn't want to leave at the end of the weekend and will definitely be booking the cabin again.

The Cedar Cabin has 1 queen bedroom/1 bath, 1 futon, full kitchen, screen porch, wifi, satellite tv, towels/linens, dog friendly, less than 1 mile from downtown.

Established in 1992, Broadwing Farm is home to three generations of the Dixon family, located one mile from downtown Hot Springs, NC on a plateau above the French Broad River in beautiful Western North Carolina. Broadwing Farm Cedar Cabin is situated on our 85 acre organic farm with the Pisgah National Forest out the back door and one of the most breathtaking views of the French Broad River Valley out the front door.
We invite you to come stay and feel welcome to look around the farm and gardens. You may see us mowing a field, harvesting the beans and corn, or fishing in the pond. We make every effort to make our guests feel at home while we live the life we have chosen here on Broadwing Farm.
We are fortunate to be able to offer our Cedar Cabin guests a private outdoor hot tub filled only with fresh, hot mineral water for relaxing under the starry sky.

Hot Springs is a dream of outdoor adventures. The hiking in the Hot Springs area is some of the best in the Southeast with a wide range of challenge, from easy to strenuous.

We have had the pleasure of sharing our farm with guests for the last 15 years. Our guests visit from all over the world and we are lucky to have such a beautiful spot for sharing. We hope you have an opportunity to visit soon!

Hot Springs is a town of about 550 year round residents. Broadwing Farm is less than 1 mile from downtown Hot Springs. You have the best of both worlds, 85 acres of fields and forest and just a short 1 mile drive to pick up a few groceries or enjoy a meal at a local restaurant.

This was a perfect getaway from our regular busy schedule! We enjoyed the fishing in the pond, meeting Penny and Chip and of course watching the stars from the hot tub! I can't wait to plan another visit!

Walnut Cottage is steps off the Appalachian Trail and all Hot Springs attractions.. You’ll love my place because of the mountain views, the location, the people, the ambiance, and the outdoors space. My place is good for couples, solo adventurers, families (with kids), and furry friends (pets).
